00:00South Africa blows the whistle and away we go in Praya, Mauritania get us underway, Cape
00:15Verde welcome the Mauritanians to the island of Santiago in Group C, a qualification for
00:24the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Cape Verde.
00:29Joined Akron Togliatti this summer, the first dangerous ball in was from the visitors, brought
00:46away by Helio Varela doing his defensive duties as well, stopped in his tracks, not sure if
00:55he keeps his cards in his pocket for now, or perhaps not, he's indeed reached for his
01:04pocket and the yellow card has flicked away to safety, but now an opportunity to put the
01:14ball in with his feet instead, it's a clever inside pass by Varela, Duarte picks it up,
01:19the volley is just wide from Gilson Tabarez, a real statement of intent from Cape Verde.
01:27Space here down the right hand side, beautiful raking cross field ball over to Helio Varela,
01:38turns this way and that and finds his way past Ebrahim Akaita.
01:47Cape Verde having to backtrack, here comes Sikiyama and it was a dangerous ball in, head in hands,
01:59the spell with the ball here, looking to take it easy though, looking for the killer ball,
02:04it's in to Gilson Tabarez who goes down and the referee points to the spot,
02:10but there was certainly contact, Mauritania players are outraged,
02:19we'll wait to see it back,
02:23referee of course only gets one viewing,
02:27Tabarez receiving the ball and clip the heels from El Hassan Huibib, Tabarez,
02:42yeah well I think that's, and Mendes find a way to evade those long arms,
02:48the cat buys it low into the bottom corner and the home side have the lead,
03:07Mendes returns to haunt the Mauritanians once again,
03:14goal number 19 for his country,
03:25the man who gave away the penalty, Mendes kept his cool, held his nerve,
03:31it's over the top for Sulejmanov to chase, he's now
03:42taken on by Mugon, a dangerous thing, it's going to drop here for Amar,
03:47cuts inside, gets his shot away but it's straight at Bruno Varela,
03:53round of applause from the travelling fans, appreciation of one of their best moves,
04:00the best clearance from Mugon Costa.
04:13So this is a half-time whistle and Capern is 1-1 against Mauritania, the same scoreboard
04:21that we have in the last African 2024 in Ivory Coast, let's see what will happen in the second
04:28half, let's go to a break and we're coming back.
04:34The referee gets us back underway with the score at 1-0 to the home side,
04:41captain Ryan Mendes with a penalty just inside half an hour, penalty won by Gilson Tavarez,
04:48fouled by Elhassan Khoibib, it's a largely evenly balanced first half,
04:57the second half immediately gets into gear, it's a half-hearted high press you'd say there,
05:06lots of players forward but not really closing in and that means that there's space at the other end,
05:11the shot from range is well over from Laros Duarte and perhaps
05:19now they can use the win to their advantage.
05:23The referee seemingly puts the match for a moment, I'm not sure if this is due to the conditions,
05:41looks like there's hail gathering on the pitch potentially, here comes Varela,
05:48he's on, pass one, pass two and picks out the perfect pass
05:56and who else but Ryan Mendes to double the lead, once from the spot, once Johnny on the spot,
06:05he points to Helio Varela and did all the work down that left-hand side
06:11and his captain did the rest, the shift in momentum we were talking about,
06:26just kept going,
06:29they were queuing up in the middle, Gilson Tavarez there as well but it was the momentum,
06:34Mendes is carrying in, got him ahead of Tavarez and Dior
06:41and then calmly slotted into the bottom corner for the second time this evening,
06:52make that 20 goals for his country,
06:54Dior, it's going to break but straight into the arms of Bruno Varela from the captain,
07:05Moussine Bouda caught it nicely enough,
07:12okay Berdyk break away and it's four on three, others flooding back but will they get there in
07:17time? well they didn't but it didn't matter, large helping hand from Helio Varela
07:24made it far more comfortable and they had the icy on the cake with a third
07:30and Jopina, they can't
07:35oh perhaps they can't, Livramento's already had his goal, the offside flag was up
07:41and finally the final whistle
07:55and the match is over, K-Birth found a way to win this encounter, they are ending this match with
08:06this goal in the last breath, K-Birth have just won 2-0 against Mauritania,
08:13so with this score, K-Birth is climbing some positions and of course still dreaming of
08:21Morocco 2025, Mauritania
